When u think it cant get any worse, think again.

(warning: 13L - this post contains a few swear words and symbols like *%# just don't do justice)

Sitting in the kitchen on a soft cushion stool, bare feet on the biting cold tiles… Soft pattering of drizzle on the steel roof, slow monotonous tick…to-ck of the clock. Home alone, computer screen fills my eyes with rows and columns of figures…yet another spreadsheet. Work almost done I squint my eyes. All I can think of is …what a fucked up week…Lord have mercy on my soul.

On Monday last week, I looked forward to a relaxing week, my list of priorities included preparing for the proposal (going to be kick ass), preparing for my trip oversees, doing my tax return, finding a new car, maybe doing some side coding, surfing net etc…

Fate, Taqdeer, Karma and the messed up side of mother fucking nature got me very quickly, God forbid I may actually have a good week. In summary my trip got cancelled, the proposal was delayed (no flowers), was involved in car pile up (I was driving my dads car it is now undrivable- Not my fault), new project in Namibia wants me to start next week (like being a year out of country wasn’t enough), my Career councillor thinks I’m too ambitious, my gal thinks I’m too indecisive, my parents moved to jozi and now we staying together again after 7 years on my own (lack of freedom but food is good), I meant to invest in company, I forgot and lost 20% of returns on the day AAARRGGHH!, I also found out my buddy’s new born baby past away, just when I phoned to congratulate him about it. My opening line was Hey ure a daddy now!

My week ended with a Friday in traffic and the worst possible songs on the radio cause I lost the remote to my shuttle and now can’t change the cd.


Plan for this week: Roll with punches and keep my head up. If you want details y not come live this fucked up time in my life!

….Just one chance, just one breath, just in case… there’s just one left…(nickleback Far away)

Times of this desperation i read two poems, Rudyard Kipling - IF and the other my gals fav Desiderata

Enjoy and keep the peace.

the baby part made me so so sad :(

other than that, why does it seem to pour when it rains? instead of a steady drizzle? crazy things all happen at once.

but hey, when life throws you lemons...make lemonade!

(filled with cliched remarks i know!)
